Motor Racing Network App Available Now

Motor Racing Network is kicking off its 46th year as “The Voice
of NASCAR” by introducing the MRN App, which is now available for free on
Apple and Android devices.

Motor
sports fans on the go will stay in the know with comprehensive coverage of
NASCAR, drag racing and dirt-track action from multiple series with the new MRN
App – available in the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.

They
can now locate and listen to their local Motor
Racing Network affiliate, or the one nearest their location, with the
push of a button in the palm of their hand. News and other online content
will be available, too, from MRN.com.

“Digital,
download and on-demand listening are terms we’ve all come to understand as the
industry evolves,” said MRN President and Executive Producer David Hyatt.
“Convenience is essential, too, and the new MRN App will serve racing fans as a
perfect complement to our award-winning, traditional on-air motor sports
coverage.”

The
MRN App features a Jeff Gordon section, where users can follow the four-time
champion through social media as he navigates his final full-time season in the
Sprint Cup Series. Many of Gordon’s most memorable wins that were
broadcast by MRN will now be available anytime, anywhere.

Fans
will have the opportunity to interact with the MRN broadcast crew through
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. There’s a calendar reminder and NASCAR
Series push notices, in addition to MRN archive audio and video.
Connectivity to track apps from International Speedway Corporation-owned
facilities is also available, featuring quick access for ticket purchases.

For
those who follow dirt-track racing, the new MRN App will include action from
winged sprint cars, Late Model and Modified competition.

Motor Racing Network is currently in the midst of a 10-day block of broadcast
coverage from Budweiser Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway that will
culminate with Sunday’s 57th running of the Daytona 500.

In
addition to exclusive radio coverage of 25 Sprint Cup Series race weekends this
year, MRN will broadcast 21 XFINITY Series events and all 23 races in the
Camping World Truck Series. The network’s 2015 slate will once again
conclude in December with live coverage of the Sprint Cup Series Awards in Las
Vegas.
